The teenage years are marked by rapid changes in physical and emotional development and increased risk for nearly everything. Parent Groups Raising children can be challenging, overwhelming, and deeply rewarding; often all at once. Parents are constantly learning, adjusting, and doing their best with the tools they have.

Adolescents grow in groups. While individual therapy offers teens a private and focused hour that can be extremely beneficial, it cannot offer the kind of social experience that teens can benefit from in groups. Group therapy is experiential learning of a social and emotional nature. As a result, group therapy has several advantages over individual therapy. ADOLESCENT GROUPS Adolescents are more lonely now than ever before. And group therapy can be a powerful way of making connections and feeling less isolated. As social relationships have added importance in adolescence, group therapy offers an opportunity to work on relationship skills with other group members and develop a support system to deal with all the challenges of adolescent life. A safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. Every teen is dealing with something different, that’s why we offer themed groups designed for what you need.

Our Process First Contact and Initial Phone Call Whether our first contact is by email, phone or text, we will arrange a few minutes to talk with you by phone to better understand your needs. We will discuss treatment options and whether we have a therapist that can address your needs. If so, we will connect you with someone on our team. If not, we will refer you to another therapist or service that is a better fit. Assessment Session(s) The first 1-3 sessions are the assessment phase of therapy. We gather as much information as possible about your concerns, their history and what you have tried to address them. During this process, we will discuss our impressions of your situation and recommend a course of treatment and/or action. While it is hard to predict how treatment will work because there are so many variables, we will give you some idea of our thought process on this and what you might expect. Ongoing Sessions Assuming that your treatment involves ongoing sessions, the therapist will check in with you frequently to ensure that your concerns are being met. Discussing the process of therapy with you directly is not only good customer service, it is an essential ingredient of good therapy. Ending Therapy Therapy is a strictly voluntary process and can end any time you want. However, it is useful to discuss your desire to end therapy with your therapist for several reasons: If there are any concerns about your therapy, we can address them directly It is a way to review progress on your goals We can plan for as smooth an ending as possible While therapy can go on indefinitely for personal growth reasons, this should be a well thought out choice after specific areas of concern have been addressed.

These days statistics on the risks and challenges facing adolescents and young adults are in the news everyday.   However, we prefer to focus on their innate developmental needs.  Risk happens when we pay attention to these needs. हमारी जरूरत है किशोरों और युवा वयस्कों को अपने स्वयं के स्थानों की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें अंदर और बाहर की तरफ बढ़ने के लिए प्यार और समर्थन की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें अपने जीवन के बारे में गहराई से सोचने और अंतर्दृष्टि हासिल करने और समझने के लिए अवसरों की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें दूसरों के साथ जुड़ने में आराम और कौशल विकसित करने के लिए साथियों के साथ अच्छे अनुभवों की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें अपने आप पर विश्वास करने में मदद करने के लिए सहायक वयस्कों और आकाओं की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें अपने जीवन में लगे रहने, शामिल होने और दिलचस्पी रखने के लिए परिवार के सदस्यों की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें अपनी विशिष्ट पहचान और स्वयं की पहचान तलाशने और विकसित करने के लिए कमरे की आवश्यकता होती है। उन्हें घर, स्कूल और समुदाय से सुरक्षित और जुड़ाव महसूस करने की जरूरत है। सभी कृषि सांख्यिकी कहां हैं? जबकि हम सामाजिक और भावनात्मक जोखिमों और युवा लोगों के सामने आने वाली मानसिक स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं के बारे में चौंकाने वाले आंकड़े आसानी से उद्धृत कर सकते हैं, हम जन्मजात विकासात्मक जरूरतों पर ध्यान देना पसंद करते हैं जो सभी किशोरों और युवा वयस्कों के पास हैं। EMERGE में, हम मानते हैं कि प्रत्येक युवा व्यक्ति प्यार, समर्थन और संसाधनों के साथ एक वातावरण में बड़ा होना चाहता है जो उन्हें पनपने की अनुमति देता है। और हम जब तक उस दिन आता है बदलाव के लिए लड़ने के लिए जारी रहेगा।
